In which THE STREAK IS OVER! (Reminder: the Dog League is a custom fantasy football league run on NFL.com)
Game 1: Tug of War(190.82) vs Bark Force(181.44)
ANALYSIS
After a month filled with injuries, trades and the worst luck imaginable, Tug of War has finally won a game, and it took a ridiculous effort to get it. The wide receivers led the way, as Michael Thomas(41.2 points), Cooper Kupp(26.7 points) and Chris Godwin(31.5 points) helped make up for a poor showing by the Bears defense(4 points). Bark Force, scoring the most points in a loss in league history, really had only two good scorers, but season-high performances from Aaron Jones(49.2 points) and the Eagles defense(40 points) still gave them a chance. In the end, it was a truly repugnant performance from Greg Olsen(0 points) that cost Bark Force, as Nick Chubb(10.9 points) couldn't make the comeback on Monday night.
Game 2: Tailwaggerz(136.96) vs Rare Woofs(215.22)
ANALYSIS
The loss of Davante Adams did nothing to slow Rare Woofs down, as last year's runner-up is now 5-0 to begin the season. Christian McCaffrey(47.7 points) continues to be the team's bell cow, though a strong performance from Amari Cooper(39.6 points) opened the floodgates. Julian Edelman(25 points) returned to the starting lineup with a big game, and the 49ers defense(24 points) went nuts on Monday night to earn Rare Woofs the highest team score in league history. For Tailwaggerz, Deshaun Watson(41.74 points) was stellar, but the rest of the team wasn't overly terrific, especially Odell Beckham(5 points) who has had a rough two weeks. The good news for Tailwaggerz is the potential return of Tyreek Hill, as the star receiver is on the cusp of retaking the field, but they may not have Evan Engram(10.7 points) available this week, so the team may be on the lookout for a new tight end.
Game 3: Ridiculous Rascals(107.32) vs Leaping Girl(121.04)
ANALYSIS
It seemed like disaster had struck Leaping Girl, after new acquisition Keenan Allen(5.8 points) was held in check by Denver and Mike Evans(0 points) posted a goose egg. But Austin Ekeler(22.3 points) kept her in it, Adam Vinatieri(13 points) was solid on Sunday night and George Kittle(20.8 points) finished in off on Monday, as Emma pulled out a close win to take second place. Rascal was let down by a couple of his main stars, as Aaron Rodgers(9.42 points) and Julio Jones(7.2 points) couldn't get the job done, and wasted the best game of the season so far by Adam Thielen(32 points). Three missed kicks by Robbie Gould(4 points) didn't help, as Rascal has become the king of missed opportunities, as he's had the least amount of points against this year, but also has the least points scored.
